Another Absurdity Discovered In the Tech

must be amused at the result of their efforts.
They certainly are deriving great profits from
the enforcement Of the law. the effect OF which
will ultimately be TO compel nearly every printer
in the country to discard the type fonts which
have always been used for sched-
ule of rates and to order new type.
The law provides that the rate-shests,
which are to be posted up at all railway stations
shall be printed in type not smaller than ordi-
nary plea. The fact ia that there was not =

vehemently for the recent bitter at
tacks on Juarez, printed in Conservative
journals. The observance, which excelled in
every particular all former rcommemoration ex-
ercises, passed off without trouble in any quar-
ter. and politicians of the Liberal party regard
for attempting to dsparRge the great services Of

had expected to get a return from the mining
venture just as quickly as from a lottery. and

undertaking as the building OF railroad. 1t

takes years to bring mine to that state OF per-

been due to the superficial character of the work
done. Until l took hold of the San Miguel mine

the Governor, .are not inclined to give justice to
